Stimulating and authoritative.”
John Guy
Masterly. [Wilson] has a deep understanding of characters, reaching out across centuries.”
The Sunday Times
On previous titles:
Fast-paced biography . . . Wilson deftly chronicles Charlemagne’s military exploits, political intrigues, and religious devotion.”
Publishers Weekly on Charlemagne
I cannot praise too highly Derek Wilson’s prose style, which is both masterful and lively. He writes with great conviction and a breathtaking attention to the kind of personal detail that makes his books such compelling reading.”
Alison Weir on In the Lion’s Court
The ambition of Wilson’s plan lies in the fact that he does not offer us six separate studies . . . but presents one complex, rich narrative. . . . This plan is carried out with attractive energy and zest. . . . He has written a useful and stimulating book about [Britain’s] most important dynasty.”
Antonia Fraser, Sunday Times (UK) on In the Lion’s Court
A masterly study.”
Daily Telegraph (UK) on Rothschild
An intriguing and compelling story . . . It does justice to the great genius of Holbein and suggests a new way of looking at him.”
Times Literary Supplement (UK) on Hans Holbein
Wilson’s account . . . is masterly. He has a deep understanding of . . . characters, reaching out across the centuries to touch them as if they were old friends.”
Sunday Times UK) on Uncrowned Kings of England
Marvelous material, fluently and expertly retold.”
Daily Telegraph (UK) on The Circumnavigators
